Some amazing aspects differing from what one would expect from magazines
or I-net discussions. Some much discussed rigs are completely absent. 
But how many HW-8 are still in use! And why only two TenTec Monobanders?
The Elecraft K2 triumphally has been marching nearly to the top within not 
much more than a year. 
Most of all I'm glad to say that homebrewing still is going strong! 

73/2  es cuagn in 9th ORIGINAL-QRP-CONTEST at 30/31-Dec!
